Sony Group has raised its earnings forecast following a strong showing from its entertainment divisions that outweighed the threat of new U.S. tariffs on chips. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/07/companies/sony-outlook-entertainment-demand/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #sony #tech #playstation #music #japanesefilm #tariffs #donaldtrump
I have been considering doing some casual streaming from my PS5, and I remembered they released a camera for that. Apparently you just… can’t buy it anymore (edit: in the US)? It’s not available direct from Sony or from any retailers.
And because you can’t use a standard USB webcam, you just can’t stream with a camera feed directly on a PS5??
Anyone know what’s going on here?

I suspect that #parentalcontrols are intentionally designed to make it harder for #parents to take any actions that aren't in the tech company's business interests.
I can’t tell if it’s #BadBadUX because it’s deprioritized internally, “tacked on” at the end, or if it’s deliberate #DarkPatterns to confuse and exasperate parents into complying with their monetization goals.
My experience in #PlayStation, #Roblox, #Android, #iOS, #GooglePlay is so bad, it couldn’t be by accident.
